Silver Lake is a hillside neighborhood built around its reservoir just east of Hollywood, known for the walking path that rings the water, the shops and restaurants of Sunset Junction, and the architecturally significant homes — many by modernist architects — that climb the slopes above. It is also a neighborhood where a longstanding Latino community and a large population of older, longtime homeowners live alongside newer arrivals, and it is those established residents, often in the steep hillside homes and apartments, who most often need our care. Diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure injuries are the wounds our clinicians treat most frequently here. Our licensed physicians and nurse practitioners see patients throughout Silver Lake: the homes ringing the reservoir, the hillside streets of Silver Lake Heights and the Moreno Highlands, the apartments along the Sunset Boulevard corridor near Sunset Junction, and the Ivanhoe area. The neighborhood's defining feature — its steep streets and its long public staircases like the Music Box Steps — is precisely what makes leaving home for a weekly wound clinic appointment so hard for an older patient. A foot that needs to stay offloaded, or a leg that needs to stay elevated, doesn't do well after a trip down a hillside and across town. We bring the physician to the home instead. Silver Lake sits close to several major hospitals: CHA Hollywood Presbyterian to the west, Kaiser Permanente's Los Angeles Medical Center nearby, and Los Angeles General Medical Center (the former LAC+USC) to the southeast. We coordinate with the discharge planning teams at each so a patient leaving with a surgical wound, a pressure injury, or a diabetic ulcer transitions to physician-led care at home without a gap. Wound measurements, photographs, and encounter notes go back to the discharging team and the patient's primary care physician after every visit. Spanish is widely spoken across Silver Lake's established Latino community, and our coordination team arranges interpreter support when scheduling so offloading instructions, dressing-change steps, and infection warning signs are understood by the patient and family caregivers. Visits are typically covered under Medicare Part B, Medicare Advantage, and most commercial plans. Our coordination line at 877-545-1300 is open 24/7. Call to arrange an assessment.
